"I will thrive no matter what happens." -quote by Steve Backlund that I've come back to for many years

Thriving is the opposite of surviving.

The apostle Paul is a great example of thriving in any situation.

• Phil. 4:11-13 “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

4 things to believe about God that allows us to thrive in anything

1. He is constant/never changes, faithful.

• “I the Lord do not change.” Malachi 3:6

1. We can depend on him; he never leaves.

• “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

1. He is always working in our lives for our good.

• "So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose." Romans 8:28

1. He is and brings peace.

• “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
• “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:7
• “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3

“I will thrive [flourish, prosper, grow and develop] no matter what happens, because I know God never changes, he never leaves me, he is always good, and he brings me peace.”

Key takeaway -

• Both thriving and survival are mindsets before they become our lived reality.

Truth to remember -

• I will thrive no matter what happens!
